Herb,
As I understand it, DNA is specific enough to determine which between two
brother is the father of a given baby or rapist of a woman or child. Either
that or they deceive on otherwise reputable tv police shows!
So, I would think that TJs specific DNA would clear up problems of whether
or not his brother or nephews did the dastardly deed. Less than his specific
DNA will not sufficiently clear up the controversy. You complain about the
Hemings not wanting to dig up dear old granddad since they have no doubt as
to the veracity of their family history. So, why is it you don't want to dig
up ole TJ?
Is this a double standard?
